IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL STUDENTS REGARDING NEW LIMITED ACCESS POLICY IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

Remember that the limited access policy for courses that need to be retaken is now in full effect. This means that you will have limited access for three terms (including summer) to courses from which you withdraw or in which you receive a deficient grade. Combined with the current high demand for Computer Science programs and limited resources available to quickly adapt to the growing demand, this means that should you not succeed in any of the core Computer Science courses, it will be very difficult to get back in and this will adversely affect how long it takes you to complete your program. Take your courses seriously and work hard in them. Always start assignments early, review your notes regularly and be sure to seek help as soon as you encounter any difficulties with the course material. Also, make any decisions regarding VWs carefully.

Apply to our program by submitting the Undergraduate Program Approval form and emailing it to the address on the top of the form. PAPER COPIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

How many computers have you used today? Think about the app used to find your bus, the online tool used to post pictures, and the video games you are looking forward to playing. Computers and software aid, inform, and enrich our lives. A degree in Computer Science will help you contribute to the incredible ways computers are shaping our lives.

Computer Science offers a rewarding, flexible and lucrative career. Read here for ACM's top ten reasons to study computer science. The Department of Computer Science also offers an extensive Co-op education program. Students in the co-op program have an amazing opportunity to meet employers, get career support, and complete 12-months of paid work experience before graduation.

The department of Computer Science offers several undergraduate degrees, including Major and Honours Degrees (both with Co-op options). The Department of Computer Science also offers joint Major degrees with Physics and Astronomy, as well as in Mathematics.

Students in many disciplines are drawn to computer science to expand their education and make new contributions to their areas. Whether you study computer science as a major, a joint major, or a minor, courses in Computer Science are an essential part of a comprehensive university education.
